You can make a start on your Edo Essay. You can choose to focus on any aspect of Edo. Most of you have your research questions sorted so begin your research for the essay. If you have not focused your question please do so as soon as possible. Remember you are choosing sources to answer your question so make sure you save them on Diigo or screenshot and save in a folder. You will have to use at least 6 sources but no more than 8. It is an essay based on sources – you will use these as evidence in your discussion analysing and and evaluating them as you use them. You should also keep a log of their origin for your works cited page. You will work on this over the weekend. We will review your the sources you have chosen next lesson and work on the plan for the essay.

Today we will input the results for beach 2 ( Maiso) and start the write up. Introduction is first. At the weekend please make sure you read the Internal Assessment guide I gave you. Please draw maps of Japan, Izu peninsula and a local map showing the 2 survey areas ( beaches ). If you use coloured pencil press on hard and use solid colour as it will fade when you scan. I will check all of you have completed your maps by Monday’s lesson.

On Monday and Wednesday you need to introduce your fieldwork. See the guide to coursework doc. 2019. You will work on the intro today and in my absence on Thursday. It should be completed by the beginning of next Monday’s class

I will check that your introductions are complete on Monday 15th.

We will then do the method so make sure you start sorting your photos and share with your group.

Please note the Timeline for write up

Monday 15th April – Introduction should be complete by the start of this lesson ( 2 lessons plus homework)

We have looked at some of these and discussed how useful they are, also looked at a framework for analyzing visual texts, “The Five C’s,” . Using the checklist on there you will start to analyse your image. You will also go through and focus on evaluation using OPPVL .

You need to be able to fully analyse and evaluate as you will be doing this after we come back from the Edo museum when you present an analysis of the 1 thing you took a picture of.

You will then do a summative, in class essay, which is based on sources. You may have an idea of what you want focus on for your essay and start some research or simply look around for ideas.
